Networks
Energijos Skirstymo Operatorius (ESO) distributes electricity and natural gas. It is also maintaining the distribution network, reconstructing and modernising it, increasing the network’s reliability and deploying innovations. The company also ensures the gas and electricity network development is sustainable by connecting new consumers and facilitating renewables generation.
For your homes and businesses
We maintain and expand the distribution networks that bring electricity and natural gas to your homes and businesses. We ensure the efficiency of our services by deploying smart solutions. We inform consumers about network reconstructions, provide information to prosumers and ensure the implementation of smart accounting.
Key facts
ESO is a part of an international energy company, Ignitis Group, one of the largest energy groups in the Baltics.
By acting responsibly, ESO contributes to a sustainable society by ensuring an uninterrupted supply of electricity and gas as well as by developing and expanding the network by connecting new consumers.
ESO is deploying smart electricity meters, which already are an integral part of the network. The next-gen meters are empowering both residents and businesses to analyse their electricity consumption data and make decisions that help consume electricity more efficiently. The smart meters also promote market competition and facilitate the introduction of new services.

Business directions
ESO is improving its processes so that anyone who wishes to connect to the electricity or gas network may do so without much red tape and ensures that the technical connection is smooth and fast. We are constantly maintaining and reconstructing the distribution networks in order to ensure a reliable gas and electricity supply and operation of solar power plants. ESO maintains around 128,000 km of power lines, 65% of which are overhead power lines and 35% are underground power cables.
On average, ESO connects 2,000 prosumers per month to the network, whose solar power plants generate electricity to ensure their needs and even transmits part of it to the network. The company is efficiently issuing technical conditions, i.e., the determining the conditions for connecting the power plant to the network. Data indicates that, on average, you can become a prosumer in Lithuania within 24 days.
Smart meters are becoming a tool that makes personal consumption data easy to access, analyse and helps change the consumption habits. The new smart meters are transmitting consumption data to an independent electricity supplier remotely. Smart accounting solutions allow the company to identify and eliminate network failures faster and more accurately as well as improve the network efficiency while residents will no longer have to write down and declare electricity meter readings manually.
